Bill Summary

Relative to public employee sick leave buyback. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill amends Massachusetts state law to limit the amount of unused sick leave or vacation pay that can be paid out to public employees upon their termination, dismissal, or retirement. Specifically, it caps such payouts at 15% of the employee's annual salary if their base pay exceeds $100,000. The bill applies to various state and local government agencies, and it also specifies that any new collective bargaining agreements entered into after the bill's effective date must comply with this 15% cap.
